We hope every had a merry,blessed Christmas. We started our celebration Christmas with Christmas service at church and a Christmas pageant in which the girls were angels. Then we had some family and friends over for gumbo and visiting. Olivia and Ave Kate settled in that night with great anticipation of Santa's visit. Ave Kate was the first one up Christmas morning and announced to us that Santa had indeed come and brought the Barbie diamond castle that she had been dreaming of for months. Olivia, too, was happy with all of her gifts. They were busy all day playing with everything. I cooked and got everything ready for Christmas dinner at 6. The big kids and their children and Grandma were all here. All the food turned out great if I do say so my self. A good time was had by all and everyone left with a carload of gifts. Erin stayed for the night so we had our nice late Christmas visit enjoying the Christmas tree and the quiet of the night.

Today is a lazy day but this evening we will go to my neice's house and enjoy the holidays with

my sister and her children and grandchildren.
